"I'm really looking forward to the day," Bennett said. "But in a way I'll be glad when it's over. There is a lot of pressure there.

"All the horses have progressed as expected. I think I've got them all cherry ripe for the day. I've had the chiropractor go over them all, all their blood's good and it's now up to the jockeys and luck in running which is always important."

Bennett said one of his greatest difficulties had been dealing with "around 80 odd owners" in the four gallopers.

"Trying to keep them all appeased is a full time job," Bennett laughed.

And while every owner wants to hear from the trainer their horse can win Bennett has been forced to play the diplomatic bat.

"What's the best chance," Bennett was asked.

"It's a very hard question. It's been something I've been avoiding. Out of respect for all the owners I don't want to upset any of them," Bennett replied.

Pressed on the ticklish subject Bennett finally replied.

"Look if Clearly Innocent gets luck in running, gets his momentum up and keeps rolling I think he might be the one. But it's very difficult.

"I'm proud as punch to have qualified four runners, to have four chances of making the Final, especially for all the owners."
